NEDD4-1 is highly expressed in temozolomide-resistant patient-derived GBM cell lines. (A) NEDD4-1/PTEN/AKT signaling pathway protein expression survey in glioblastoma cell lines. (B) Viability assay performed using SRB assay showing established TMZ-resistant cell lines, U87MGR and U251R, increased resilience against temozolomide treatment. (C) Tumorsphere formation assay demonstrating the higher potential of TMZ-resistant cell lines to form tumorspheres compared to their chemo-responsive counterpart. (D) Differential expression of NEDD4-1 and PTEN expression in adherent (adh) and tumorsphere (sph) cells in TMZ-responsive and TMZ-resistant U87MG and U251 cell lines. (E) Colony formation assay depicting higher clonogenicity of TMZ-resistant cell lines compared to their TMZ-responsive counterpart. Graph bars are mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. *** p < 0.001.
